Bird Flu Killing Mice?

Wow, the hits just keep on comin'. And comin'. From China. I'm starting to feel like a republican, screaming about the Red Menace. But seriously, come on. The news from there just keeps deteriorating. Each story is scarier than the last. Now, this. I'll be watching to see if the Chinese follow through on the request for the samples. Damn. Between mad cow that the government knew was a positive test for seven months before it was announced (makes me wonder how many others they're hiding?), to pigs and birds getting bird flu, I'm thinking about expanding my garden. Leave me my fantasies that at least that will be okay.
